You're not far wrong saying it is microsurgery. The ones I have fixed had the fine wires snapped which needed resoldering, I replaced them with bindings out of a solenoid from a defunct Beocord 2200. The hardest part is stripping the shellac off of the wire ends to enable one to tin them before sodering into place. Not an operation I could do now

Stars: No the Serene does not close itself (in any situation). Not even if you do THIS to it? Chris.

Before you buy the cables on ebay you may want to look on the Maplin site who also sell these - probably cheaper. These are exactly what you want for any of the speakers mentioned - except penta's which have screw terminals but Maplins also sell Din to open end cables which are listed next to the link I've posted and will also be fine for any

Tom: Thanks for you kind wishes! If we ever meet, you'll all get a and some ! Ooh - in that case HAPPY BIRTHDAY from me too Have a great day Tom & have plenty to drink. Chris.

Christian: What about the displays then. Aren't they used? (Penta Vox) No - it's just a piece of coloured plastic with nothing behind.

Alex: I would look for speakers like the S45-2, which are very good speakers. How large is the room? Indeed they are and they don't suffer foam rot as they have rubber surrounds. One thing to note with these though, which has reared its head recently, is that the magnet can become detached from the bass driver during shipping and once this has happened

Hi Paul and welcome to Beoworld. Redline speakers are OK, but not the best Beovoxes ever made. I agree that they look good, but stay clear of the Rl45's & RL60's as these will have foam rot in the bass drivers and disintegrated ABRS. The later RL45.2's & 60.2's don't have this problem and the 60.2's would be my choice

Dillen: So now I am on the lookout for an output transformer. The service sheet gives the anode current as 33mA. The original transformer is a Peerless CL4 and would probably prove hard to find but a good replacement with apprx the same values will be just as fine. Martin Which will be collected this evening and shipped to Denmark ASAP Chris.

Both the woofers & subwoofers on MS150's can be added. Chris.
